BERLIN, December 10-A preamble
of the new German Military Service
bill was issued tonight. 1t sets forth
that the German army is composed of
men whose liability to service in the
active army extends over twelve.
years, whereas in the Russian army
the period is fifteen years, and in
France twenty. Besides this, it
must be considered" says the pre-
amble, "thAt tue geographical position
of Germany exposes her to attacks by
powerful armies on two frontiers
simultaneously. Her security les in
her strength, aud this should he
greater than it is at present. An. end
must be put to the existing unen-
durable condition of things. The
Government, therefore, expect, that
TO SECURE THE PASSAGE
OF the present bill it wi be suffi-
cient to appeal to thepatriorism Of the
German people. BY the bill b.fore
the Reiehstag, the six yearly classes
formerly composing part Of the Land
strum are placed in Immediate readi-
ness for any dangerous emergency.
The increased cost of administration
involved in the augmented number
of men who have answered the roll
call will not exceed 1900 marks.
For the navy further measures are in
contemplation. The whoe tone of
this rena kable manifesto suggests
that the recent outburst OF the official
press over the massing of Russian
troops on the frontier had something
Of fictitious character.
THE Iron CHANCELLOR" OBJECTS.
Prince Bismarck is known to have
greatly hurt the chances for the inn
mediate passa e of the Landstrum
bill, which the military press now es-
timates will aid half million men to
the effective force, in the event of mo-
bilizttion. The concentration of Rus
sian troops on the frontier at the p es-
ent time, is part of u long concerted
plan by the Russian war office. They
consider IL TO be necesSltated by the spe-
cial difficulties OF Russian mobilizing.
At the same time the pre-. ence of for
midable masses Of Russians within
striking distance OF the frontier will be
held ny the Keichstag as justification
for complete reform of the military.
THE "PEsTER LLOYD"
In pacific article, invites Russia to
state her rolicy regarding Bulgaria
relying upon the disposition of the
allied powers to meet Russia's views,
and to maintain peace with the loyal
Observance of treaties. The article
col cides with the belief held in high
diplomatic quarters that Germany
and Austria will compel Prince Ferdi-
nan to abdicate if Russia will bring
forward suitable candidate for the
Bulgarian throne.
